Diazo microfilm (Estar Base) is a fast-speed
non-silver print film suitable for generating
direct-duplicating copies in fiche or roll form
from silver or reprintable diazo films. It can be
processed in the usual commercially available
diazo processors, using either aqueous or
anhydrous ammonia vapor at various
temperatures and pressures.

... and the stuff doesn't have to be kept light tight - and watching the machine run it takes about 25secs from the time the copy and print meet under the UV light till you see an image... an ugly purple image - but an image.
And the cheap price I was quoted was from a microfilming outfit that probably has some kind of discount.

Yes but what is it?!!!
Is it a high contrast film for microfilming? I could
see how that would work for Tony if it's possible to
get some with sprockets.
Actually you could get some without sprockets and make
some work and then contact print it in a microfilm
printer onto print film with sprockets for projection.
